    Go in to any builders providers or timber suppliers and ask for them. They'll probably be on a shelf behind the counter.

    All you need to as for ia a 12mm flat bit and a 12mm plug cutter to suit. You need to use the plug cutter in a drill press at all times.

    Got a 10mm plug cutter! €25! They said it would be ok in a normal drill if i'd a steady hand! I went home and tried it and it worked perfectly to my delight because id have to buy a drill press otherwise!

    Thanks for the help 😊
